Chapter 1865
by 林方方Chapter 1865 Between Light and Shadow
“The Gate of Truth… is gone?”
Vishnu looked at the empty ground before him, his eyes narrowing.
In his perception, An Qingyu had just used some mysterious spatial restriction to directly move away the remains of the Gate of Truth… but this kind of large-scale spatial transfer restriction was unheard of, even to him, a supreme god.
And if Lin Qiye had seen those dense patterns of divine power just now, he would have discovered that these patterns’ flow was actually very similar to his reverse summoning magic array.
After a brief moment of surprise, Vishnu’s gaze turned toward Nyx standing before him.
Where An Qingyu had moved the remains of this gate, and why he moved it, Vishnu wasn’t curious about. He only knew that now was the best time to kill Nyx!
Just as he was about to move, the light around them suddenly dimmed.
Vishnu was stunned. He looked at Nyx and asked in confusion, “How is this possible? Wasn’t your divine power already drained?”
Nyx stared blankly at the world falling into darkness, as if remembering something, she suddenly turned her head toward a certain direction.
Vishnu followed her gaze and his eyes focused intently!
He saw that the black sun floating in the distance had somehow broken at one corner, and absolute darkness, like liquid, flowed from the gap, winding and coiling in the void like rivers devouring light.
Damn, I forgot about that guy!
Just as this thought arose in Vishnu’s mind, all light was devoured by those rivers, as if someone had pressed the “brightness” button and dragged it all the way to the bottom…
The law of darkness grew silently, like branches born from death, gradually invading this world.
Nyx stood in this darkness, as if searching for something, with rare tenderness and expectation appearing in her profound eyes.
At that moment, a warm hand brushed across the back of her hand and gripped the hilt of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword.
“Leave it to me, Mother.”
Lin Qiye’s gentle voice echoed in her ears.
Upon hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Nyx’s lips. She released her grip, allowing the Ama-no-Murakumo sword to disappear into the darkness.
Meanwhile.
Vishnu frowned deeply. In this darkness, even he couldn’t see the surrounding scenery, only sensing a faint killing intent that constantly lingered around him.
“Just putting on a show.”
Vishnu snorted coldly, stomping heavily on the ground, instantly shattering the earth beneath!
The shockwave of power spread in all directions. Vishnu closed his eyes tightly, trying to find Lin Qiye’s location from these spreading waves… without divine power now, he could only use this most primitive method to locate his enemy.
“Nothing?” Vishnu closed his eyes, about to do something else when suddenly he felt a chill from behind!
Without any hesitation, Vishnu turned and threw a punch behind him, but just as he turned, a golden sword light cut through the darkness, precisely slashing across his back!
This cut directly broke through Vishnu’s flesh, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone.
Vishnu roared in anger, twisting his enormous body and crashing like lightning toward the direction the sword light had come from, only to collide with a heavy boulder, his terrifying strength instantly shattering it into countless fragments.
The fragments fell to the ground without making any sound, as if a dark quagmire had swallowed their existence.
Where exactly is this guy?!
Darkness and silence simultaneously deprived Vishnu of his sight and hearing. After two consecutive attacks without even touching the hem of Lin Qiye’s clothes, his heart was filled with resentment and anger.
Just then, a second golden sword light swept out!
The appearance of this sword light was equally without warning. Vishnu reacted extremely quickly, raising his arm to intercept in the direction of the sword light.
The sword light cut through flesh, leaving a wound on his forearm. Almost simultaneously, Vishnu reached out toward the direction the sword light had come from, wanting to grab Lin Qiye directly, but again he grasped at nothing.
Vishnu stood frozen in place.
Judging from the direction of the sword light, he was certain Lin Qiye must have been there, but even though he risked a sword wound to strike, he still couldn’t catch him… as if the one wielding the sword wasn’t Lin Qiye at all, but a ghost without physical form.
While Vishnu was distracted, a third sword light thrust toward his heart!
Unlike the previous two strikes, this sword aimed at Vishnu’s vital point. If this sword pierced his heart, even a supreme god couldn’t survive.
Vishnu didn’t see this sword light, but at that moment, a sense of mortal danger surged in his heart!
Could he really be killed by that human in this darkness?
This thought flashed through his mind.
Damn it!
From the beginning, he should never have agreed to let the Key of the Gate drain his divine power! Otherwise, how could he have ended up in such a passive situation!
He, a supreme god, if truly slain here by a human of main god level with one sword strike, would be too humiliating!
A strong survival instinct surged in Vishnu’s heart. He desperately moved his body, trying to avoid this fatal attack. Just then, the sound of metal clashing rang out from behind him!
Clang——!
At the critical moment, a sword deflected the golden sword light, causing it to deviate slightly.
The sword light failed to pierce Vishnu’s heart, instead piercing his shoulder blade. Pain flashed through Vishnu’s mind, but he couldn’t care about that now, turning his head to look in a certain direction.
In the darkness, a figure wearing a black robe slowly approached.
“After all, he is an ally I just recruited… he can’t die here like this,” An Qingyu’s voice sounded.
“Is that so?”
In the darkness, a ripple appeared out of nowhere.
A dazzling light broke through the darkness, as if splitting this world apart. A deep red figure holding a long sword stood at the intersection of light and shadow, one eye like burning gold, the other as black as ink.
He gazed at An Qingyu in the darkness, and after a moment, spoke again,
“In that case, this body of yours shall remain here as well.”
He raised the sword in his hand and slashed through the air. The surrounding darkness seemed to be cut like a canvas, instantly split in two.
An Qingyu’s form quickly transformed into a dense mist, dissipating from his spot, and when he reappeared, he was already at the edge of light and shadow!
He gripped the [King’s Scepter] flashing with golden light in one hand and slammed it down heavily, but Lin Qiye seemed to have anticipated his move, lightly curling his finger.
The next moment, the ground beneath An Qingyu instantly melted into a dark quagmire. The [King’s Scepter] couldn’t strike the ground, but instead sank deep into the bog!
